Tips for Packing and Reassembly 1. Try to roll the kite up in the reverse order it was folded from the factory. 2. For the first few breakdowns, it is OK to roll the rigging up on the cardboard squares. However, with a little experience with set-up, this will become unnecessary. 3. Are you experiencing a big tangled mess on the second, third, or forth set up? Don’t worry! Simply unclip the rigging lines, assemble the kite and then reattach the rigging. 4.
